Pictures of Mrs. Cleveland.

Among the callers at the White House at
the monday reception on Thursday was
distinguished foreigner, who brought with
him one of the largest sized photographs of
Mrs. Cleveland, representing her in dinner
dress of black silk, with corsage and front
draperies of jetted net. This picture the visi-
tor showed to Mrs. Cleveland, with the re-
quest that she write her autograph on the
lower margin, as he wished to carry it across
the ocean with him to present to the queen of
Italy. When informed of his intention Mrs.
Cleveland said she did not consider the pho
tograph by any means the best; that her pref
erence was for the one taken in white dress,
with scarf drapery of pearl beaded tulle ex-
tending from the left shoulder across the
bosom to the right side at the waist line. The
visitor said he would also procure q copy of
that picture. and would then carry both of
them abroad, one as representing to best ad-
vantage her handsome figure, the other her
beautiful Washington Capital.

Two little boys that l happen to know of

pigeons ono morning. Singling out Brownie,

low directly at the window of the little boys
room, followed by the hawk. At the window
the pigeon made a turn Of indescribable swift
ness and the hawk went crashing through a
window pane 1t so happened that a Gagged
mocking bird was hanging in the room, and
the sudden appearance of the hawk caused
Dick to give utterance to shrieks that could
be heard a quarter Of mile. The hawk,
nothing dazed by his experience, made an
effort to get at the bird and mounted the cage
for that purpose. Dick fell on the floor of
his wire parlor and made the house resound
with his shrill cries. Then tho little boys ap-
peared on the scene and they soon put an end
to the hawk--Atlanta Constitution.

The parks of the City of Mexico are really
a novel as well as beautiful sight. Com
Portable seats shaded by venerable trees,
winding walks encircling large beds of fow-

live in narrow, sitting streets. The student

Nudes is patronized chiefly by novel read
ers. 1t is one of the sights of London to see
people focking into this place, and at stated
times to watch the packages of books being
done up to send all over the kingdom, not
only England but Ireland and Scotland and
Wales, being yearly patrons of Mudies, who
have their own express, like our American
expresses, engaged in the safe conveyance of
books to their hundreds of readers. If you
pay five guineas or S25 per year you may
take out twenty-five volumes at time dur
ing the year. Every few months they have
a sale of books at absurdly low prices. In
London and the suburbs they deliver books
through town agents, called the London
Book society. Each year catalogue for
subscribers is published at Is. 3D., about 36
cents. This is over 500 pages of good size.
The clerks at Nudes are most polite. They
are, as at the British museum, mainly gentle
men of good family, who thus seek to aug
ment small income. Many an antiquarian
stands behind one of Nudes counters. Were
the books, Or rather the book shelves, of the
museum stretched out in line their length
would be over 100 miles. There are in all
something like 100000 volumes. A copy of
each book published in London must be de-
posted in this treasure trove of literature

/ was speaking the other day with an eid-
erly Swedish gentleman about the stories one
hears in America of the sensation Jenny Lind
created there in 1S50-of how people still told
OF hearing her marvellous voice in the streets
outside the halls and churches in which she
sang. He lad known her ever since child
hood, and is an intimate friend of an old
gentleman still living in Stockholm who was
the tenor in the old operatic company she
first belonged to away back in 1887, and who
was once engaged to be married to her. He
told me many curious things of her later life.
She is plain and white haired now, with a
severe expression of countenance. She is
very pious, and most of her talk is devoted to
bemoaning the days when she was sinful
enough to appear on the stage. She is in
tolerant toward young singers, sneering at
their voices and their vocations alike, and re-
Dukes any one who ventures to address her by
the name of Jenny Lind-or even refer to the
name. l was told of case some years ago,
when she was visiting here in London, when
her host brought to her a young Swedish
soprano who had won fame and respect in
Europe and America, and was proud of this
opportunity of paying homage to Jenny Lind
She made the mistake of Glluaing TO this
name, and was so cruelty snubbed in conse-
quence that Mime. Goldschmidt was never
again asked to that house-London Cor

Danger Along the Chute,

me how the shocking toboggan accident oc
Cured at Rutland, whereby several girls
were badly hurt and one good fellow lost his
life. 1t seems that tho board guards on the
sides of the chute had been nailed so as to lap,
the projecting ends being turned toward the

and split, and, as it stuck out up hill, before
any one knew of the danger it had done its
deadly work. This wcs on the slide which
DIR. Seward Webb hss taken so much interest
in. 1t is probable that the guards on many
others are nailed in the same way. It is all
wrong, and simply invites the most horrid
sort of accidents. The boards ought to lap to
insure solidity, but the tapping ends should
all point down hill, and then if one becomes
suddenly loose it can dono harm.-New York

No happier suggestion has been proposed in
many day than the one made in the essay
read before the Massachusetts, Horticultural
society by Mrs. Sarah ]. Smith, of Hartford,
for the establishment of a school to teach the
art of horticulture to women, and particularly
10 girls. Many a country girl would stay
contented and happy at home, however re-
stricted the limits that go with it, if she only
possessed a practical knowledge of the theory
Of fruit and flower raising, which would fully
engage her thoughts and promise profit for
the time and labor expended. The avocation,
too, is one peculiarly adapted to women, and
for that reason deserves to be cordially en-
couraged.
There ought to be other places for unem-
ployed females besides the large cities, that
consume their precious lives as machinery
works up tho material fed TO it. In the pos
session Of garden and q conservatory
woman could easily possess the means of
achieving an Independence that nothing could
take away from her. The raising of silk
worms, the care of bees, and the production
of poultry and eggs are profitable as well as
attractive occupations for her, if once her
taste turns itsolf in such healthy direction,
but the raising of flowers and choice small
fruits for the market is a calling for which
she possesses special qualifications, and no
necessary instruction should be withheld

A FREAK OF ARCHITECTURE.
The Curious Mansion Built Under a
Wooden Shell by Mrs. Thomas A. Scott.

The Curious Mansion Built Under n
Wooden Shell by Mrs. Thomas A. Scott.
The family of the late Thomas A Scott,
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, have SO long occupied position of the
highest prominence in Philadelphia's most
exclusive fashionable society that recent &c
centricities on the part of Mrs. Scott have
not unnaturally caused good deal of quiet
comment.
More than a year ago Mrs. Scott bought
for $780, 600 two adjoining houses on the
southeast corner of Rittenhouse square and
Eighteenth street, Philadelphia's most desir-
able residence quarter An army of carpcn-
tiers and bricklayers were put to work, and
Mrs. Scott, who is now some 65 years of age
gave it out among her friends that when her
new residence should be finished she would
give fashionable entertainments which would
surprise everybody. The two houses would
be into one and finished with every imagin-
able refinement which wealth and art could
command. Soon, however, the gaze of the
curious was cut off, for an entire outside
structure of wood, frame palace, was built
over both houses and the entire lot and from
that day the public was in ignorance of what
was heing done within. A great frame struot-
ure on such a commanding site naturally at
tracted great notice; Curiosity became in
tense as the sound of the hammer and adze
echoed without and the regiment of workers
within remained unseen.
Finally a portion of the frame building was
removed and intimate friends were allowed
inside. What was their surprise when thev
found that they were in single residence,
containing fifty-two rooms-more than any
other house in the city-and that the entire
front on Rittenhouse square was pierced by
swarm of narrow windows set close to-
gether and giving the facade the appearance
of Jail II is now given out that this singu-
lar structure will not be finished for a year or
more--New York World.

1t is a curious fact that the late Matt Car
penter. who represented Wisconsin brilliantly
in the senate, at one time decided to enter the
ministry and began the study of theology.
He had lost his sight for time, and there
are many old people now living in the little
western town where he spent his first ten
years at the bar who can well remember the
earnest prayers and eloquent talks of tho
young lawyer Carpenter was then a tall,
spare, black eyed fellow, handsome as Lucifer
and as dangerous. Rufus Choate sent him to
New York to put his eyes under treatment,
and he stuck to the law. His determination
to go into the ministry was heeting surren-
der to dependency, but his old friends al
ways cherished their dreams of his future
fame as the great, blind preacher of the west.
1t was at this period in his life that Carpen-
ter acquired his fondness for Scripture read
ing, trait which explains the simplicity and
clearness of his speeches in the senate and at
the bar.-New York Sun.

work has been intrusted. The figure of the
great tribune is, however, still unfinished, the
head only, which bears striking resemblance
to the original, being completed. The whole
of the figure intended to represent the genius
of the nation inspiring the orator is well nigh
done, and gives a good idea of the general
effect of the monument.
Gambetta will be represented with his
right hand pointing toward the frontier in an
attitude of appeal to the children Of France,

sword in his hand and falling over a cannon

past twenty-five years they have embraced
Christianity under the influence of French
